“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)
At Notre Dame University-Louaize (NDU), beneath the tender gaze of Our Lady and drawn into the sacred mystery of the Incarnate Word who shares our joys and sorrows, Campus Ministry humbly extends its invitation to all members of our university family—students, faculty, and staff alike.
We recognize that each heart carries its own hidden story: moments of grief, restless questions, the burden of illness, or the quiet ache of loneliness. In these vulnerable moments—when life feels fragile—Campus Ministry does not present itself as a mere program, but as a living presence, walking alongside you toward the Lord who “dwells among us” (John 1:14) and transforms all things by His love.
Across all NDU campuses, we accompany and nourish your soul through:
Daily Spiritual Nourishment: We offer Holy Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, retreats, and moments of silent prayer—creating sacred spaces where Christ’s voice may speak to your heart and reveal His boundless love.
Spiritual Accompaniment: Our priests are available to walk with you in times of discernment, helping you hear God’s whisper at life’s crossroads. Whether facing important decisions, spiritual dryness, or seeking direction, we journey with you in trust and hope.
Confession and Reconciliation: The Sacrament of Mercy is offered regularly, inviting you to encounter God’s healing love—a chance to begin anew, to leave behind the burden of sin, and to restore peace within your heart. Confessions are available daily during office hours or by appointment.
Vocation Discernment: Like Mary, whose fiat bore eternal fruit, we assist you in discerning God’s call—whether to the covenant of marriage, the altar of priesthood, the gift of religious life, or the everyday mission of discipleship.
Grief and Loss Support: As Mary stood at the foot of the Cross, so we stand with you in sorrow. Through prayer, Memorial Masses, and the Eucharistic promise of resurrection, we help bear burdens that no one should carry alone.
Illness and Crisis Support: Faithful as Mary at the Cross, we accompany you in times of trial. Through prayerful presence, pastoral care, and the consolation of God’s Word, we walk with you to find strength when yours feels spent.
Above all, know this abiding truth: You are seen, deeply loved, and tenderly held by Mary’s maternal care, while Her Son embraces you with healing, peace, and an abundance of grace.
